I believe this "OStatus" is the revamped, revised version of the OMB (Open Micro-Blogging) spec that Status.net/Identica introduced. Identica is naturally the biggest Status.net-based site, but apparently they have intranet microblogging systems too (Motorola is one customer they brag about). It's true that there's not many OStatus-based services around to link up yet, but similar ideas like OpenID took a while to get momentum too. I very much like the idea of a world where OStatus does for my social circle what RSS and Atom did for the websites I follow, and I wish the OStatus folk all the best in attempt to make my life better.
